THE INTERNSHIP

The goal of the internship is to educate individuals to become efficient advocates against the injustice of human trafficking. We hope to inspire our interns to make the fight against modern day slavery a part of their life.

EDUCATION ON THE HISTORY AND TYPES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

1) Read “The Natashas” by Victor Malerek. This book documents the rise of the most recent wave of the global sex trade which was triggered by the fall of the USSR in 1991. It documents the political and economical reasons for the 4th wave of sex trafficking coming from the nations of Eastern Europe. The book also covers the current efforts by the US and other nations as a response to the increasing trade of women and children for sex.

2) Follow a state (FL) and federal bill on sex trafficking. By following a piece of legislation will educate the intern about the legal process. Although laws are not the main solution to the spread of sex trafficking, it is important for the intern to learn about the process and topics pertaining to this approach.
